Polar Express - 2014 Edition

We went on the Arcade & Attica Railroad Polar Express on the Sunday before Christmas. We had so much fun last year that we did it with a group again. This promises to be an annual event!

Boarding the train.


Colton on the train.



Lucy and her ticket, ready to go!


Hmph.


Elliott, hold your sister for a picture. Sure, like that is going to happen.


Waving to pedestrians and cars as we pulled out of the station.


Elliott, the elf, was pumped!


We were all so excited to have Jesse home a few days earlier than we expected!!


Lucy watching the world go by.


We arrived at the North Pole and got all bundled up. Elliott was understandably excited to watch the engine move from one end of the train to the other.


Munchkins!


Lucy gets quite loud when she doesn't get her way.


Winter girl.



We had hot dogs and hot cocoa at the North Pole.

Playing with the Strzelecs.


Elisa and Rachel on the way to see Santa. 


Silva Family.


Elisa was a bit nervous about seeing Santa.


Lucy checking out Santa's workshop.


I'm a sucker for crying baby Santa pictures.


Elisa waving goodbye to Santa.


Boarding the train to head back.


We went with a great group of families.
The Smiths (plus a few extra kids in this shot).


The Vesneskes (missing a kid in this picture).


The Silvas.


The Strzelecs (hooray for coming last minute when Ned got sick and the Ortmans had to miss out).


The Samsons.


Happy Lucy . . . 


Until Santa came on the train . . .


Sad/scared Lu.


These two hilarious men provided musical entertainment throughout the train.


We are already excited for next year!
